Clemson is very targeted with their offers, and can afford to be since guys WANT to play there. But damn, offers in the 400’s to get 20-30 kids? Ridiculous. When a kid reports offers from 15 schools, that’s why. It’s all a charade. Most of those offers don’t mean anything.

If you interviewed Louisville's head coach would he even know who the majority of these kids are and would have have any idea they are on his offer list ?

You have to wonder whether some of those offers were made for any recruiting purpose at all. Rather, their primary purpose might have been to create the illusion of activity by the coaching staff.

Probably not. But pretty meaningless anyway you look at it. The number of offers is more a by product of the recruiting culture where if you want to have any hope of pursuing the recruit you have to "show respect" by making an offer. It is a courtesy, a mere gesture with not much more meaning than note saying we'd love to continue to talking to you. Make no offer, maybe it is a slight?
Until quite late on the recruiting game clock, they mean that little. Surely neither player or coaching staff consider them really significant by themselves.

All said, is not the school "obligated" if a kid says yes, so it's nothing to the kid, but is it not to the school  I'm just not understanding all this vagueness about offers from the schools standpoint. If you don't honor them if a kid decides to accept aren't you kinda taboo to other kids Isn't this kinda where we're at in football right now We've offered kids that we might not really want, but some have accepted, so from an integrity standpoint we are obligated |

These offers are nothing legally. Just non-binding promises to send a real LOI for the athletes signature.
Usually only close to signing day does the school send out a real "offer."
Whether there is an honor and integrity depends on the social cultural recognition. Right now there is ample evidence that isn't the norm.
Morals? That is another issue...

Most of those offers are not “commitable”. Schools don’t want kids to commit other than those kids they tell they want their commitment.
Bsu is just now sending “official” offers to kids who’ve already committed to us. They’ve vetted those kids now and we want to extend the “real” written offer now.

The NLOI cannot be signed before the signing period begins. If somehow you received an "offer" earlier, since it can't be accepted, the school could withdraw it or "rescind" it until accepted. There is no binding promise to keep it open. The athlete has now received a formal offer but his "commitment" is still verbal at least until the first day possible to sign. It is true that as the recruiting period goes on a point is reached when an offer means something. But the law on the matter is something else in cold reality.
There is no obligation on a school to use LOI procedure, but if a LOI is signed they gain since recruitment by other schools must stop, and the player has agreed not to play anywhere else for a year unless certain conditions are met or he is released. |

Well one thing I learned a couple years ago is that there are verbal offers and then there our official offers that are mailed out to prospects. If you do not get the official offer it means nothing
